"Guitar Man" lyrics

Well, who draws the crowd
And plays so loud?
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's gonna steal the show?
You go listen to the guitar man

He can make you love
He can make you cry
He will bring you down
Then he'll get you high

Somethin' keeps him goin'
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play

Well, night after night
Who treats you right?
Baby, it's the guitar man
Who's on the radio?
You go listen to the guitar man

Then he comes to town
And you see his face
And you think you might
Like to take his place

But somethin' keeps him driftin'
Miles and miles away
Searchin' for the songs to play

Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
And you take them home

Ooh, yeah

Guitar man

He can make you love
He can get you high
He will bring you down
Then he'll make you cry

But somethin' keeps him movin'
No one seems to know
Just what it is that makes him go

Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice, he's just got to find another place to play

Fade away
Ooh, he's got to play
Ooh, yeah
He's got to play
Got to play
Oh, he's got to play
The guitar man, guitar man
